Verify your ml2 config file:

cat /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
[ml2_type_vlan]
network_vlan_ranges = vlan:101:200,vlan:301:400

Note the name used to map the vlan ranges: in this example = vlan.

On compute nodes, check if exists or create the external bridge (usually
called br-provider):

ovs-vsctl --no-wait -- --may-exist add-br br-provider -- set bridge
br-provider protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow12,OpenFlow13,OpenFlow14,OpenFlow15
ovs-vsctl --no-wait br-set-external-id br-provider bridge-id br-provider

Set the ovn-bridge-mappings using the network_vlan_ranges name and the ovs
external bridge name (it is exactly the same configuration applied in gw
node):

ovs-vsctl set open . external-ids:ovn-bridge-mappings=vlan:br-provider


Don't forget to enable DVR for FIPs...:

vi /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
[ovn]
enable_distributed_floating_ip = True
